How does the chatroom work?

Hey,
Allrighty im sure most people notice that at the bottom of the ATS homepage theres is something that tells you who is in what chatrooms at the moment. When i first saw this, i had no idea that there were chatrooms, so i searched for how to get in! I think i did find it at the top in green letters by all my member option thingies, simply named chat. However every time i click on it, NOTHING ever happens, it pretends to load and thats it....im going insane, could someone please help me????!?!?
Many thanks in advance!

Hey first you need 200 posts, i see you are at 155 posts at the moment..

When you have 200 (to see how many posts you have put your arrow over the grey bar on your profile)

then click the chat tab at the top of the page,

Enter you name and password in the lil box, hit login

Go in to the pub! and there ya go

to add some more technical info.

You need to make sure your browser is pop-up enabled.. or you have the pop-up blockers disabled, or you knwo the super secret direct link

Next you will need to make sure you browswer is flash enabled, and is updated.

Get to 200 posts and join the insantiy... just don't go idle or someone might try to releave his itchy 'kick' finger. ANd be aware that cpr12r is a chat bot trying to mimic a 13 year old who is trying to get a girlfriend and goes on late night sugar benders

Also be aware that chat only seems to load when accessed from ATS. It won't work from BTS or PTS.

If by chance after you reach 200 posts it still doesn't work, upgrade your Flash player (there's a link at the bottom of the chat window) then try again.

edit: Jehosephat beat me to it.

Dani, who is that in your avatar, if I may?

Vesuvius 13 try deleting cookies and try again,

you should get in then,

Okay, thanks Asala ill try that out real fast...

DeltaChaos: The person in my avatar is a japanese goth singer. They use to be the singer of a band called Velvet Eden, but they left this band and i dont know what band theyre part of now. They went by the name of Dada in Velvet Eden though. I think it's a beautiful picture, the only scary part about it is that it isnt a girl...lol its a guy. lmao yeah hard to believe im sure lol, it took me a couple weeks to get over it. Cause when i first saw her or him, w/e, i started out pointing out how very hot she was! And then my sister had to ruin it by pointing out the fact that it was a guy! Urgh, i would have preferred to remain ignorant of that! lol I saw the persons picture in an issue of a gothic magazine called Newgrave issue 5 or something.

Edit: Okay i can get into chat now, it was my popup blocker! lol I didnt check it b/c on another forum i get a popup for every new Pm/U2U message, so i figured that couldnt be it, lol. I guess i was wrong though! lol Thanks for your help everyone!!!!
